Holly, NJ,WX8APX NWS Gaylord, MI., WX7SLC NWS Salt Lake City asked to work me direct, ( it's fun to be able to say your in Skywarn US & UK ! and give your local weather report from your own PWS!!)WX6MTR Monterey, CA., KØMPX Minneapolis St Paul, MN., WX4MLB NWS Melbourne, FL., and finally worked WX4NHC Miami, FL as both KC2VWR & 2E0LUN as my last NWS station of the night!
